This is a guidebook to help children who:

hurt, hit, bite, smash, kick, shout, scream or who are out of control, hyperaroused or hyperactive

can only discharge their angry feelings in verbal or physical attacks, rather than being able to think about and reflect on what they feel

are angry because it is easier than feeling hurt or sad

are locked in anger or rage because of sibling rivalry

are controlling and punitive

regularly defy authority or are diagnosed with a conduct disorder

commit cold acts of cruelty, hurt animals or do not cry any more; spoil, damage or destroy what others do or make

create fear in others because they have locked away their own fears

do not want to please people, cannot trust, have stopped looking for love or approval or truly believe they do not need anyone

do not really know how to 'like' someone; and, definitely do not know how to love someone or are affectionate only if they want something.
